FLAG:

 

(A)sustain

(B)strive

©favor

(D)cut

(E)wax

 

Ans: E

 

I know FLAG is to lose energy or momentum. WAX is to increase in quantity or intensity (however, not necessarily energy or momentum). What's a stronger bridge between them?

Well, when the bridge is too specific, we have to make it more general. In this case, we can simple say that X is to decrease, Y is to increase. That in itself would actually get us the answer.

 

However, I would have to say that I do see a bit of overlap in energy and intensity. In other words, I do think that these are pretty good antonyms.

 

BTW, wax and wane are on the test a lot, so it'd be good to remember them. :)
